Because the company realized that if they put it in the tier that it should be in, it would dominate the tier completely. It would basically be too OP of a plane. However, given that they want more money now it certainly should be offered as an OP premium plane. Especially considering that so many other OP premium planes are out now.

Ah, no.

WG/Persha just haven't gotten around to it yet. Why...your guess would be as good as any. Will we ever see it...guess that depends on if the game survives & flourishes post 2.0

How planes are added in WoWP is one family at a time...the Hellcat will either come in full line of Grumman's or not at all...

WoWP makes a great jousting game...especially with the 262 and people busy in furballs...
I am deaf, silent, and fly with unrealistic controls. Do not count on me to carry - my back's already broken from overweight.

We already have tons of Grumman planes in the game. They could have added the Hellcat years ago. Why didn't they? Because at the time this company still believed that premium planes needed to be weaker than regular ones. As well, the Hellcat would have completely dominated it's tier 4,5, or even 6. Today, because they are not making a lot of money and to have a big influx of people and cash with the release of 2.0 they could finally add the Hellcat to the game as a premium plane. But it better be damn OP or releasing it will backfire more than help anything. The Hellcat has been asked for since before this game was even released. People ask for the Hellcat every few months or just like this post they wonder what on earth possessed these developers to exclude one of the most successful, iconic, and historic U.S. planes of the entire war era.

Still no. The F6F is no more OP than say a P51D. Why WG/Persha decided to stop the Grumman line at T5, and then go with Voight is a mystery...like so much of the design decisions in this game. There is an answer for things that are OP...NERF. WG is never afraid to nerf the OP in the game, so that cannot be the reason.

Fact is, The F6F should not be a Premium plane, but instead part of a new branch of the existing tech tree line. F6F/F8F/F9F/F9F-6

Lol, this has been asked since the beginning. I would like the f6f up, but I know Persha would probably mess it up.

300 hit points would be a rough guess at an average hit point pool for t7. Low for multi roles, as the f4u4 has 350 and the t7 jug has 450. A lot of fighters have less. 300 is still plenty for killing ga's.

Hmm...Annual event for tree release...not sure if I like this idea, but...
